Blithe Spirit: An Improbable Farce in Three Acts
A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone's personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
This haunting comedy was a work in progress when The Company Repertory Theatre co-founder, Richard Folmer, passed away. His friends and fellow thespians made it their mission to complete this project in his honor. These shows are dedicated to his memory.
Presented by The Bossier Ars Council and The Company Repertory Theatre.
